In any corner of the world we choose to call our land – we are regarded as outsiders with a certain suspicion. We seem like a puzzle. We may look like everyone else but not quite the same as everyone else.

The sheer inner mental torture for us to constantly hope for freedom and peace when our reality of rising anti-semitisim challenges us otherwise and asks – What is to really to be a jew in the 21st century?

Its the same thing it meant back when Avraham Avinu and G-d made the covenant. To honor, love, and serve Hashem.

The beautiful thing is that we if we cannot make a home in our countries of birth, we always have Medinat Yisrael until Mashiach is revealed and Eretz Yisrael comes under our sovereignty again.

May it occur swiftly and in our days.

Only that your home is not on this planet.

This planet is the outer court.

I think you should block me if you feel that way, It wont hurt my feelings. Better yet, ask me not to post in here and I wont be back. I am just saying, a person who believes in God should be as a wanderer on this Earth, and longing for a home which is not on this Earth.

In the beginning, this was the way for a Priest, but I tend to look at the entire nation as priests, my bad.
